  • 1.  Ubuntu kernel compiling for SAV, need steps

    Posted Jul 26, 2014 04:36 AM

    I am new to Symantec SAV. Is there any guideline to compile kernel for SAV. I want to deploy on ubuntu.

    How can I manage it through your console?

    It seems it's working as a standalone.

    Hi,

    Some kernels are supported by the install packages supplied with Symantec AntiVirus for Linux (SAVFL), and Auto-Protect will function immediately.  Some are not and require an extra, manual step.  (See System requirements for Symantec AntiVirus for Linux 1.0 for details on kernels currently supported.)  As of SAVFL version 1.0.8, it is possible to compile and install Auto-Protect kernel modules for Linux versions that are not otherwise supported by Symantec.

    Refer this article: Symantec AntiVirus for Linux: How to Compile Auto-Protect Kernel Modules under Ubuntu

    http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH95496

    SAV clients can not be managed by SEPM.

    In the next release of SEP you may find support for managed linux client. Currently it work as a unmanged/standalone clients.
